In my experience, the problems given to juniors are often open ended “improve this” or “fix this” type projects, but smaller scope or lower priority things that more senior devs would just never get to. I will say…
It's a similar shape but with quite different conclusions - low drive + low aptitude: never hire Hammerstein thinks some use can be made of these folks - low drive + high aptitude: hire for targeted use cases where you…
Sounds like this is a hill you're willing to die on
In the Bay Area I’m also easily able to order alcohol on all the big delivery services, but they all seem pretty consistent about scanning your ID for age verification before they drop it off.

I have a similar approach that works well, you just need one more filtering step. Anyone who reacts negatively to the salary request, you ignore and move on. Don't even bother replying. For the "lets hop on a call"…
AFAICT it's pretty common among tech companies for "recruiting" to be called "talent acquisition" and "human resources" to be called "people operations" or similar
Getting RSUs doesn’t ever “suck”, but getting 70%+ less (denominated in $usd) money in your quarterly vesting than before is unpleasant - even if you knew it was coming at some point and don’t critically depend on that…
What’s more common - hiring managers who see the inclusion of a GitHub as a small positive signal but don’t scrutinize heavily (or even more likely don’t bother to click into it), or those that dig deep and scrutinize…
I agree that we could collectively be more mindful about why we're doing things and what we're getting out of them, but this seems like a strange example to emphasize the point. Do many people claim that they're…
